Important message from Jason... Please be a little understanding for the next week
Hello dear students,
My parents arrived today from Australia and they will be staying here with us for one week. They haven't been to Korea since I got married 5 years ago, and they have been painfully parted from their little grandson for more than 15 months, so this is a rather special time for me and my family.
So please be a little patient and understand that I may not be able to give you a lot of personal feedback about your work over the next week. In addition to hosting my family, I need to spend 3 hours every day driving to and from Daegu (I live in Changwon in Kyungnam province). I'm not sure if you noticed, but I also design and write all my own original materials for my classes, so that involves a lot of time for preparation as well.
I pride myself on giving every one of my students individualized attention and feedback. You will see this starting from the end of next week when my family returns to Australia.
In the meantime, please show some patience. I will return such understanding in kind, when you have exams, teaching practicums, job interviews or personal family issues. A good teacher-student relationship is based on consideration and give and take, so let's understand and help each other.
By the way, I think my students at KNU are the best - the absolute bee's knees (so to speak). I really enjoy teaching all of you.
That's it for now. Take care and I can't wait to see you all in class again soon.
Best wishes,
~ Jason

Please don't worry about that. We are persons...We are not an absolute being. When we are in trouble, let's understand and help each other. And have a good time with your all family including your parents.

Spend as much time as possible with your parents.
I think all the students are more than willing to understand you.
Don't be concerned about some delayed replies.
Be good to your parents
and show them wonderful things to see in this season of Korea.

I think you're plenty dedicated enough, Eunmi! On another note, I am very sorry to hear your father passed away. That must be very tough.
And yes, we did have a wonderful time while my parents were here. Take a look!
